This is my other Uncle`s car. It has about 30K and has only been washed via swirl-O-matics (lives in LA). I gave him about $40 worth of car care supplies to use to keep it up after I was done (hope he uses it). It has a Eibach Sport kit, wheels and some other things on the way. The paint on this was very, very hard. Once again supplies were limited, only had 1 WW and 3 terry weave MFs left. Man am I tired! Between this and playing with my little cousin constantly (darn kid has unlimited amounts of energy lol), gotta love family though.



Process:

Washed with NXT

Polished with OCP and orange pad on spd 6

Sealed with CGs Extreme Top Coat Sealant (hides quite a bit of swirls)



It didn`t come out 100% but pretty good, most of the swirls were hidden by the sealant than anything else. I gave up on deep polishing because the OCP and orange pad working really really slow and using at least 20lbs of pressure did almost nothing to the swirls. Thats why I say the paint was very hard. I wish I knew that so I could have brought OCC instead. It took out enought to be able to see the slight metalic flake in the finish.

I took some cooler pics but I shook a little. (didn`t have room for a tripod and was in a hurry before the sun went down).

I forgot this one, after polishing and sealing you can still see some slight swirls.

Even if you didn`t get the car back to perfect, it still looks damn good. The reflections that your getting off the paint with that CG sealant is amazing. Great work, I bet your uncle is really happy :D Did you make sure to tell him NOT to use beat your car to swirl death washes and to use touchless ones?

Haha, ya, and I gave him about $50 worth of car care supplies to take care of it.

Still looks like it turned out pretty good. :)



Optimum`s Hyper Compound probably would have been more successful but it would have added a polishing step. Tough when your resources are limited, eh?

Thanks, ya, wish my parents still had the Suburban, so I could have brought everything. :D
